Dear Eleanore Turkington:

We just received our early Christmas gift from the City of West Haven! If you are a regular television viewer or newspaper reader, then you know what I mean. Yes, our houses have been reassessed and I mean reassessed!

Our house was reassessed at more than $100,000. We have the opportunity to go protest and search for an explanation. We made an appointment to do just that!

So many times I have heard, “You live in West Haven, Tax City?”

I hope after reading and seeing this proposed tax assessment and reading my angyry tax comments you will forward your reaction to City Hall.

Going Broke

Dear Going Broke:

I’m sure I will be hearing from my other readers with the same sentiments as yours.

Dear Eleanore Turkington:

We own an electric car, and it would be much easier to “refuel electrically” here at home in West Haven. Does West Haven offer electric fueling for its residents and others choosing to do so?

Empty Tank

Dear Empty Tank:

I made some inquiries and learned there are no electric refueling facilities in West Haven. Sorry.

Dear Eleanore Turkington:

I want to erect a stockade fence in my backyard. I heard there are restrictions to protect me and my neighbor. Can you find out exactly what the law directs so I don’t get into trouble with the city and my neighbors?

A Good Neighbor

Dear A Good Neighbor:

I have been researching your questions and will provide some answers for you soon.
